What we’re about
ODSC brings together the open source and data science communities with the goal of helping its members learn, connect and grow.
The focus of this Meetup group is to allow ODSC to work with Meetup groups, non-profits, and other organizations to present informative lectures, workshops, code sprints and networking events to help grow the use of open source languages and tools within the data science and data-centric community. As such, our specific goals are:
1. Build a collaborative group to work with other Meetup groups, non-profits, and other organizations.
2. Promote the use of open source languages and tools amongst data scientists and others.
3. Host educational workshops.
4. Spread awareness of new open source languages and tools that can be used in data science.
5. Contribute back to the open source community.
Who is this meetup for?
• Data engineers, analysts, scientists, and other practitioners
• R, Python and other software engineers who work with data or want to learn
• Data visualization developers and designers
• Non-technical team leads, executives, and other decision makers from data centric startups and large companies looking to utilize open source tools

Topic: "Building Responsible and Safe Generative AI Applications"
Speaker: Mehrnoosh Sameki, Principal PM Manager, Responsible AI Tools Area Lead at Microsoft
Mehrnoosh is responsible for overseeing product initiatives that focus on responsible Artificial Intelligence and machine learning model understanding tools, such as interpretability, fairness, reliability, and decision-making, within the Open Source and Azure Machine Learning platforms.
She is co-founded several open-source repositories, including Fairlearn, Error Analysis, and Responsible-AI-Toolbox, and is also a contributor to the InterpretML offering. Mehrnoosh holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Boston University, where she is currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor, teaching courses on responsible AI. Prior to her role at Microsoft, she worked as a Data Scientist in the retail industry, utilizing data science and machine learning to improve customers' personalized shopping experiences.
Abstract:
As large language models (LLMs) become more widely adopted, it is crucial to understand their effective utilization, copilot development, evaluation, operationalization, and monitoring in real-world applications. This session will provide insights into incorporating responsible AI practices and safety features into your generative AI applications. You will gain knowledge on assessing your copilots and generative AI applications, mitigating content-related risks, addressing hallucinations, jailbreak, and copywrite issues, ensuring fairness, and enhancing the overall quality and safety of your copilot.ODSC Links:
